般若 (hannya): "the hannya mask."
In the Noh play Aoi no Ue, Lady Rokujō, a high-born lady out of The Tale of Genji, is so jealous that her spirit leaves her body and attacks Genji's wife as she lies sick. In the second half she comes back in the hannya mask: horns, a fanged mouth, and eyes that still look grieved. Hannya is the Buddhist word for wisdom, and nobody is sure how the demon got it. Face it straight on and it rages; tip it down and it seems to weep.
This one is chalk white, horns included, with black hair parted down the middle, lowered eyelids and a gold-toothed grin that splits the face. Seen level, the lowered eyes look almost calm. Shot from below in the photos, the grin takes over, the same trick a Noh actor plays with a tilt of the head.
Hang it where a side light hits it and the face shifts as you cross the room. For a costume night or a cosplay shoot, the white face photographs bright against a dark background. More hannya, plus oni and tengu, are in the decorative Japanese masks.
